The four Nations Tournament comprises of Kenya, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The first game for Harambee Stars will be on Saturday against Malawi who are the hosts and the game will be played at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.
Coach Engin Firat also gave his reasons as to why he left Gor Mahia star, Austine Odhiambo despite the fact that he is in a very good form. He said that he did that because of the indiscipline aspect of the attacking midfielder.
Engin Firat said that nobody is too big for the National team and he will not tolerate any form of indiscipline. He even gave an example that last year Austine Odhiambo feigned sickness in the friendly match against Qatar. He later played for Gor Mahia and he even scored a goal.
We wish the Harambee Stars team all the best in the four Nations Tournament and we hope that they will carry the flag of Kenya higher.
